The monument survives as a roughly oval area measuring approximately 32 metres north-east to south-west and 26 metres north-west to south-east, sitting on the upper edge of a north-west-facing slope where the land also falls away gently to the south-west.

The site is a rath, the Irish term for a ringfort, a type of enclosed farmstead built predominantly between the sixth and tenth centuries. Thousands of these earthworks once dotted the Irish countryside, serving as the domestic and agricultural headquarters of farming families. This one retains the characteristic form: a low inner bank, in places reduced to little more than a scarp, a fosse or surrounding ditch between the banks, and a low outer bank worn down considerably by generations of grazing livestock. A possible entrance, around four to five metres wide, can be identified at the southern side. The enclosure is now fenced off with an electric fence, presumably to manage the same livestock pressure that has already eroded much of the outer bank.
